Application riled February 7, 1908. Serial No. 414,849.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known tbs: I. RICHARD Jonas, mechanic-al engineer, :1 subject ofthe German Em eror, and a resident of Berlin-(harlotten urg, Germany,have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Vessels forConveying Materials, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in vessels for conveying materials,such as riveted metal trans awning-boxes and cars and the To ena le suchve;'-\ els to be readily seizedand tipped or otherwise handled by t .howorkmen the rim has been provided either with ordinary angle1rons, orwith hand-rails whose web, attached to the edge of the vessel, is nulhgdatthe top. Such hand-rails, however, are found to be wanting inrigidity, so time i'he edge of 1.

liable to get. discerned in the course of lime. I overcome this 55 3???by {he employmemiof angle-iron of firewall-known bulbous type,

i which I apply to rho ves el in such manner that the terminally isnlbedweb cbnst-itutes a ledge. The. advsmages of such bulb angleiron overordinary angle-iron are obvious. The ledge. or flange presented can bemuch more readily grasped by the workman withue vessel is out therebeing any danger of his hands getting injured; and rile angledron eon berun completely round a aransporting-vessel of the usual rectangularshape, right over the corners, without an artieular caution haying to beobserved or special machinery or tools employed. \Vit'n culinaryangle-iron the, protruding web is exaremely apt to get torn oil. This isobviated by my invent-ion, \rliielrinsuresvsuperior srrrength andgreater ('UIlYflh ienco in nmnipnlnrion. ln theevent of thebulbedangle-iron geiting bent over, the bulb yields sullicient materialtoprevent the web from being resiled oil or fi actured, evtpl thoughstrained and siren-bed to a u-rtzn extent. 'lhus boil) snglwirounombinos the advantages of ordinary 'angloiron in point of rigidity,with those of prior bulbous handrails in respect to handy shape andeapabilil y of bending.

One form of construction of the. iu'veulion is illustratedintheaeeompunyiugdrau'iuggin 5C- which the figure is a l'ragmeuta-lcross-sectional view.

1, is the top portion of the wall of ihetraosporting'\'essel, to whichthere is applied the \reb, b, of the angle-iron, whose outwardly 5iprojecting web, (1-, terminates in a bulb, a. he web, I), may befurnished on the insidewith a shoulder, 11, which buits against the rimof the wall, 1'. The angle-iron may be bolted, riveted, welded, orotherwise scoured 6 clare that. what 1 claim is 1. Atransporting-vessel, and an angle 7 v iron secured by its one web to theouter edge thereof, while its other web projects outwardly and isterminally bulbed, substantially as and for the purpose described.

'2. A i-ransportingvessel, and an angle- 7 iron passing. around all thewalls of the same and secured by its one web to the outer edge Ahereof,while its other web projeris out-- \vardly and is terminally l)llll)(ll, sul'istautially as and for the purpose described. f 3. Atransportbig-vessel, and a roundbaeked angle-iron serured by ils web tothe outer edge thereof, while its other ouawardly projecting \vebeurvesdmvnxvardly and is terminally bulbed, subslaulially as andjor thepurpose dose-ribed. e
